All that and more on this edition of SR’s Geek Picks!

I guess it was showing the most well known adaptions because the earlier British productions weren’t mentioned either.

To many, Basil Rathbone will always be THE quintessential Sherlock Holmes but I think RDJ plays the character’s eccentricities perfectly, without showing Sherlock’s addictions to heroin and other opiates like in the books.

I remember reading it as a 10 year old and thinking “this is absolute genius”. Might have to try and get another copy but yeah, the way Doyle uses foreshadowing and then reveals the clues is just brilliant.

The only other writer to have the effect on me that Sir Arthur Conan Doyle did was HP Lovecraft.

It’s a story that makes you go, “You know, now that I think about it, what Holmes is explaining DOES make sense.”

I bought the collection of Doyle’s Holmes stories a couple of years ago, it was in this huge brown book with gold rimmed pages titled “The Complete Sherlock Holmes”.

Wasn’t very expensive and although the print feels crammed onto the page a little too often, it’s still a fun catch-up to everything else you might’ve missed out while looking for Doyle’s books. The way it all ends is quite fitting and almost makes it seem as though both John Watson and Sherlock Holmes could’ve been real people.
